Abstract:

A system for interactive media skimming and search on a device comprises a scene manager building a model of a 3D scene of a multimedia segment of the media visible on a screen of the device, facets of scene objects in the 3D scene are used to dynamically convey visual imagery as a texture from a multimedia source and maintaining a logical navigable relationship between the scene objects, the object facets and the multimedia segments, and further comprising an interaction manager, a user manager securely storing user information and preferences, a playback component initiating rough or high definition playback, a texturizer creating a 2D texture artifact from a set of the multimedia segments in the media for a 3D facet, a transformer transforming and modifying pixels, a cache and scene heuristics maintaining a set of 3D scenes comprising objects, object facets, a virtual camera, and positions of the objects.
